Two boys who ran away from home and made their way to a medical center alleged they were beaten by their mother with a computer cable and denied food while she ate in front of them.

Houston police rescued the boys, aged 14 and 10 after they ran away from home to escape their mother’s abuse in July 2018 and are now with relatives.
